Patient EducationClinical

Testicular Disorders

Testicles, or testes, make male hormones and sperm. They are two egg-shaped organs inside the scrotum, the loose sac of skin behind the penis. It's easy to injure your testicles because they are not protected by bones or muscles. Men and boys should wear athletic supporters when they play sports.

Questions About E29Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for testicular dysfunction?

E29 is the ICD-10-CM category for testicular dysfunction, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is E29 (Testicular dysfunction) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for testicular dysfunction, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for testicular dysfunction need a more specific code from this category, such as E29.0, E29.1, and E29.8.

Can E29 be reported with a code from E34.5?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on E29 lists "androgen insensitivity syndrome (E34.5-)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
